Bottom of the table Morecambe have only won once at home

Both teams scored in four of the last six meetings between these two clubs as well as in three of Morecambe’s last four matches and five of Carlisle’s last six outings, so you can start to see just why we’ve backed goals to be scored at both ends of the pitch this weekend.

Morecambe have only won one home game this season and Carlisle have only won two away games which makes a draw the most likely result on Saturday, even more so when you consider that the hosts earning an average of 0.67 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.78 points per away game.

Morecambe’s home games produce an average of 2.44 goals and Carlisle’s away games produce an average of 2.78 goals, with the hosts conceding 14 goals at home and the visitors conceding 16 goals on the road this season. Morecambe concede an average of 1.56 goals per home game and Carlisle concede an average of 1.78 goals per away game, and we have backed the pair to draw 2-2 on Saturday.

No clean sheets in sight for either side this weekend

Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 44% of Morecambe’s home games and in 44% of Carlisle’s away games this season while both teams scored in 44% of Morecambe’s home games as well as in 56% of Carlisle’s away games, all of which adds weight to our final scoreline prediction for this weekends’ clash.

Morecambe have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their home games and Carlisle have only kept clean sheets in 11% of their away games and both teams have only failed to score in 37% of their games this season, so we are expecting goals in this game for both clubs.

We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams are struggling for form and haven’t won many games this season but will each fancy their chances of securing three points on Saturday. However, the stats suggest that the most likely result is a draw and that we are to expect there to be plenty of goalscoring opportunities for both teams which is why we have backed a final score of 2-2.
